Down with the Lawyers: Up with the Bishops!

Down with the Lawyers: Up with the Bishops!
Relentless pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegonblogspot.com – Monday, February 27, 2012

I mean down with the lawyers and clerical advisors to the California Catholic Bishops in the year 2004. I made a horrible discovery yesterday after rereading the messages of Oakland’s Bishop Cordioleone and Santa Rosa’s Bishop Robert F. Vasa on the Obama’s Health and Human Services Mandate. Let’s read it again.

“What many may not know is that the requirements of the HHS mandate are almost identical to a state we have had in California for over ten years now. In fact, the 2004 decision of the State Supreme Court in the lawsuit challenging the law, Catholic Charities of Sacramento vs. Supreme Court of the State of California, ESTABLISHED QUITE EXPLICITLY THAT IT IS FOR THE STATE AND NOT THE CHURCH, TO DECIDE FOR US WHO IS AND IS NOT A CATHOLIC AND WHAT CONSTITUTES THE “INCULCATION OF RELIGIOUS VALUES.” Now the federal government has stepped way beyond the boundaries of its authority by deeply breaching the wall of separation between Church and state.” Bishop Cordileone

“In California this issue was faced a number of years ago when the State placed a similar mandate on Catholic Institutions which provide services for persons other than their own members or hire persons other than their own members. I must admit that I have not yet fully understood how this was resolved but in light of this HHS ruling it will undoubtedly be necessary to revisit the accepted “solutions.” Bishop Robert F. Vasa

The 2004 decision by the California State Supreme Court was in violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution which reads:
Amendment 1 – Freedom of religion, speech, and the press; rights of assembly and petition

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

There are many questions to ask. Why wasn’t the 2004 decision brought to the U.S. Supreme Court? Is California’s Catholic health care insurance directly or indirectly paying for contraception, sterilization and the morning after pill? It seems that the bishops are ruled by lawyers. I do not trust these lawyers! How many of them are registered Democrats? How many of the lawyers are directly or indirectly associated with the ACLU and Planned Parenthood?

I just heard that in a USA Gallup 75% of the respondents think Obama care is unconstitutional. I believe that there is something rotten in the state of Denmark a.k.a. California, because we still have the same lawyers and clerical advisors to our California bishops. Why don’t you ask questions?
